Baited

Zach left small town Edenburg twenty years ago. He got out, went to school, started a business, and never forgot his first love, Mason Gilbert. When he hears Mason's mother has died of a stroke, he drops everything to help his best friend get through it. But Zach left Edenburg for a reason.

Since Zach left, Mason has managed to make a small space for himself in Edenburg. He hides his past and, in return, no one brings it up. It's a system that works just fine until his past comes charging back in an off-white Bronco to save the day. Mason doesn't need saving and Zach's persistence is unraveling the life he made.

Zach doesn't know the Mason he's found in Edenburg. Mason's loosing hunting clients and credibility all around town. People are choosing sides. Zach thought he was coming back for happily ever after, but he's starting to feel like the big bad wolf.
